Also, the less dire but equally insightful version (which can coexist!), "I know you would rather die than see me hurting or feel like you're burdening me. ...Also you would completely forget to feed yourself or like, drink water if I didn't remind you to." (Way more points if BOTH of the people involved trust the other with their life but know better than to trust them with their own.)
i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what
#tropes#character dynamics#fic tropes#sixth house#campal#the locked tomb#the trope ITSELF is practically all ...at least team 69 but i think also just the premise of TLT roles -- but these examples are Sixth af#you've (usually and also in that example) got an 'own needs don't register as priorities' with a 'too hyperfocused for executive function'#even IRL#but i HAVE seen us 'wtf is time' folks come in balanced pairs :P#just neurodivergent things#(my partner is the Cam. i'm not very Good at being Pal-like and we are certainly more individually motivated but they are absolutely my Cam#and VERY VERY the 'you think this is YOUR agenda?' type)#also this is in A LOT of media i just can't stop and list it all#which i invariably love bc this trope does in fact fuck me up

so i was trying to double check that i was right that outward-facing knuckle tattoos would start on the right hand (don't ask, I'm terrible at left and right) and the easiest way in my head for me to do this was to jump over to my pinterest and glance at a picture of julien baker's hands. pinterest suggested these related images:
I mean. are they incorrect about the demographic? PROBABLY NOT. ...but
#julien baker#nsfw -ish?#pinterest#queer#algorithmic shenanigans#for people who like tattoos puppies and are sad about 'the top drought': a selection#pinterest over here like#'look there are two types of people who save jb pictures: the ones who leave incredibly thirsty comments and the ones who want to BE her'#'either one might enjoy this'#ykw a carabiner company should make an ad that looks like that i think it would be HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL#i was in fact right about the hands?#i think i have like...some weird version of dys...is it dysgraphia or is that a different one#i'm terrible at spatial orientation or left/right especially when it has to be changed based on POV (except re: stages bc i'm used to that)

The American housing crisis is a theft, not a shortage
Economics From the Top Down: Since Reagan, the US has been on a massive policy of redistributing wealth from the poor to the rich.
By returning this stolen money, the US housing crisis would evaporate. No, I’m not kidding. If the United States were to undo its experiment with rampant inequality and return the distribution of income to the levels found in 1970, the housing crisis would disappear.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"
"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.
"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!
(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)
Share what you got!
#castle of wayward crows#I would totally read this book#there are a lot of weird ways that could go#but corvids are usually a good sign

I’ve been doing this with both writing and RP tags lately (DWRP, I have still not figured out how RP on tumblr quite functions) and I completely agree it makes it easier to edit — and also can be super useful to find patterns or ideas for other things later.

#this song…#haunted house#noah gundersen#this ends up a frank castle / kastle song in my head very easily (also some others: it’s on my Grantaire playlist)#but also it’s just so good. the kind of viciously blunt heartbrokenness right up against really pretty lyrics#which Noah always does well tbh
